I
think Rasberry is so special because he is my dream bird and I got
him for Christmas last year. He is very soft and loveable. He kisses
me every night before I go to bed and every morning when I get up. He
is a very good pet and I love him very much!

His favorite toy is his Boing and his bell. He hangs upside down and
bounces his head to get going and he screams all the time he is
bouncing. He rings his bell a lot I just bought him an indestructible
one recently and he loves it. He has a little hand toy that looks
like a Dumb bell and he picks that up and bangs it on the table and
throws it at me sometimes. He has a great personality. He love to sit
on my shoulder and give me kisses during the day. He doesn't talk
much but I think he said hello the other day!

He isn't much work at all he eats perch mate bird seed by Kaytee it
doesn't have any Sunflower seeds in it because these birds are prone
to get fatty tumors and Sunflower seeds have a lot of fat. He has a
different feel to him than other birds he is very soft like silk and
he also has a different smell - he smells like Buttered Popcorn. Don't
ask me why, I don't know! I got Rasberry from Sugarcreek bird farms
in Belbrook, Ohio - they have beautiful babies! I have always wanted
a Rosebreasted Cockatoo and now I have my dream bird RASBERRY and I
love him dearly !!!
